Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Mega deal monday 3-way edition

No mega deal monday without a 3 way trade (yea I really got nothing to do at work, the shipment of the necessary cable got delayed).

 

Here's what I got. Keep in mind I used the trade machine which won't accept Smith's contract yet, checked out the numbers manually and it seems to work even better with Smith in there.

 

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=136~3422~2382~1981~3224~130~3003~2777~558&teams=4~16~16~16~16~17~17~17~17&te=&cash= (+ the pick and smith)

 

To the Wolves

 

* Chris Douglas-Roberts

* Joakim Noah  

* Devin Harris

* Kirk Hinrich    

 

Outgoing Players: Rashad McCants, Randy Foye, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal, Craig Smith, Picks

 

Why this works for the Wolves: Devin Harris was really really undervalued at Dallas, check out how they're doing without him .. and that's with Kidd in his place, not really the first the best either.. I'm totally sold on the guy, he's an excellent both ways player.

 

CDR needs some more time to mature and we give up a about all our SG's in the process. We lose a little at that position. Still, CDR was a sophomore if I remember correctly and we all know we were high on him last year before the draft (no?). Corey's ready for more minutes at SG and don't forget about Carney whom but cheecks are probably the only thing that's warmed up about him. We give up a lot at SG but we weren't going anywhere anyway.

 

If Corey moves over to SG and since we get Noah, Love can move over to SF a bit. Especially when we get Peko or a center through draft in here.

Noah + Al really looks good to me.

 

Hinrich is another nice guard who could be a more than excellent 6th man.

 

Negatives: Free Agency is out the window though we've already established why this is not a problem. We lose all our 3point shooters though I'm not sure it'll matter since Wittman doesn't know how to set them up anyway. If it is a problem you could change either Foye or Mccants with Brewer, I just like Brewer best out of the 3. If we keep Foye or Mccants instead of Brewer it might spread the floor better so you can interchange them if you want.

 

To the Bulls:

 

* Vince Carter

* Craig Smith

* One of our earlier picks or package.

 

Outgoing Players: Joakim Noah, Kirk Hinrich

 

Why it works: the Bulls are a growing them that seems to need a little star power to get over the hump back to eastern greatness. I'm not sure Carter is the answer but they might take a flier on him since they don't really lose a lot. They aren't going anywhere with Hinrich and also aren't going anywhere with Noah.

 

Negatives: If they had plans for free agency, Carter's contract botches that. Are they gearing up for 2010?

 

To the Nets

 

* Rashad McCants

* Randy Foye   

* Mike Miller     

* Brian Cardinal

* Our earliest pick        

 

Outgoing Players: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Vince Carter, Devin Harris

 

Why it works: Foye is from NJ if I'm right? Miller is no Vince Carter but he might be more willing to be the veteran on a rebuilding-on-the-fly team. They get their pick between Foye and Mccants instead of CDR which could also hasten their rebuilding signifanctly. Moreover, they rid themselves of Carter's 4 remaining years and have a much better shot at Lebron+someone else.

 

Negatives: they might not be willing to part with Devin Harris for the chance to go after Lebron. Foye and Mccants are nowhere near Harris' skill. Might take untill next year for Jersey to submit to the lure of signing Lebron. The early pick might set this straight a bit, not sure if it would be enough. I frist tried for Hinrich to the Nets but his contract is too long. Not sure if some further tinkering might improve the situation for the nets. At this point they might get more for Carter elsewhere.

 

 

 

SOOO, what say you!

Harris....

….is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too good and young for New Jersey to let him walk. They stole him from Dallas and I don’t think they’ll let him go for damn near anyone. He may be a top 10 type of player this year. That being said, I appreciate the mega deal fan post. This is going to be a looonnnngggggg year.

Love it for the Wolves--

Which is why the other teams won’t do it. Foye and McCants aren’t NBA starters, much less the caliber of Harris or even Hinrich. Yes, it will help the Nets clear cap space for a LeBron/Bosh/Wade effort, but I think the Nets are in 3rd place in the LeBron sweepstakes. And if they don’t get him and are left with what you’ve given them, they are much worse off than the Wolves are now (and that’s saying something!).

HOT POST!

I agree with S/P though, Harris is the stumbling block, he could be very good, he has already had some huge games this year. Of all the questionable trades last year that one was the dumbest, sh*t he might already be better than Kidd. (Disclaimer: I’ve never liked Kidd.) What the hell was Cuban thinking?

Given there are some dumb GMs out there, but I don’t think the NJ guy (Thorn isn’t it?) is one of them.

Which reminds me, I’m missing these “behind the scenes” posts Peter W. used to do, with all the trades being proposed here I think he needs to do a guess post. McHale: “We have way too many draft picks, what if we sent Rashad plus all the picks to Orlando for JJ Redick?” Hoiberg and Wittman in unison: “ummm, hang on a minute Kevin”

So funny

how everyone overvaules the wolves players like they’re actually good or something

You guys are right, seems like the Harris undervaluing has passed now ^^.

Really missing Peter W. for sure.

On second thought, I don’t get what’s so good about Harris…

It did put...

a smile on my face. I love a good lopsided 3-way trade.

Most decent observers thought it was preposterous to trade Harris for Kidd when it happened. Harris has certainly lived up to his end of making the Mavs look dumb. Also he is WAY stronger physically this year. Maybe Brewer has a prayer of adding some muscle.

We need to keep our cap space open so we can sign lebron James in 2010.

You lost me at

playing Love at the 3….

by wolfen on Dec 4, 2008 10:36 AM CST reply actions  

We should play Love at the 3

and have him guard Lebron next time we play the Cavs. the wolves could put the game tape on dvd and sell it as a blooper video. People like those.

by roundhouse on Dec 5, 2008 1:39 AM CST reply actions  

Well, I didn’t mean full-time off course. But I’d love to see him play some minutes here and there with the right matchups. I seem to remember there was some talk about that after he got drafted?

by Wim (Belgium) on Dec 5, 2008 5:12 AM CST reply actions  

Yeah I simply cannot see Love at the 3.

To me he has “point forward who sets up at the high post and through whom we run our offence” written all over him. But hey, who knows.

by plinytheelder on Dec 5, 2008 1:54 PM CST reply actions  

sorry, I should say:

it’s not that I don’t think he could do it from time to time on offence – I agree with you there. It’s on D that I think he’d have problems – I can’t think of who he could guard on the perimeter.
